Reply to comment by ctothel in TIL cashews are actually seeds that grow hanging beneath cashew apples, which are pear-shaped edible fruits that belong to the cashew tree by Arena-1

Delicious! I grew up eating this since my grandpa was a farmer. It’s juicy and sweet. There’s even an alcoholic drink made from the cashew apple.

When I went on a tour in Belize they said it makes a great wine that re-ferments in your stomach so you get drunk twice. Pretty wild concept and surprised it's not sold/produced much outside of Central America.

Is the alcoholic drink like a cider or more like wine?

It’s a triple distilled spirit (45% abv)

ETA: I think it’s called Feni. I tasted it once at my dad’s friend’s wedding. It was sweet-ish, kinda like Malibu.
